So the coast! We journeyed to the Coast for a week after being in Amboseli. While the coast is beautiful, I really was looking forward to coming back to Nairobi by the end. I was tired of being sweaty and hot all the time and really, I'm not a beach person anyways. But I really did have a nice time! The people on Biashara Street (the shopping/business street) were really quite nice; they didn't try to rip us off for being mzungus (white travellers) like most people in Kenya. Thanks Mombasa!
a look at the outside of Fort Jesus (which was owned by the Portuguese way back when and then was a prison)
a bit of the Old Mombasa Town
a view of the harbor!
and some excited friends right before we boarded the boat for our dinner cruise (I know, we're so spoiled! but in all fairness, we don't get a spring break; everything is more or less structured (but with plenty of pool time). And let me tell you, by noon, you're just a big sweat blob bouncing around Mombasa, so a shower or a dip in the pool is really appreciated! I didn't swim in the ocean because of all the seaweed, the occasional Portuguese Man of War, and the harassing Beach Boys (not the band from the sixties, let me tell you).
